“An Exact Replica of a Figment of My Imagination” by Elizabeth McCracken interests me–I think I will definitely check this book out. I can relate to the experience she is writing about in this memoir–it is always comforting to know you are not alone in your experiences.
I really want to read Exit Music by Ian Rankin, I really like his books! Thanks for the giveaway!
I’d like to read about the Titanic’s Last Secrets because I’m a history major & that’s my thing!

I’m interested in Exit Music I keep hearing quite a bit about it and would really like to read it
As a member of an often crazy, rarely productive office, I would love to check out Joshua Ferris’s “Then We Came to the End.” Put quite simply, it looks like fun!

I have Roads to Quoz on my TBR list. So it looks really good to me.
Of the featured books, Exit Music looks the best to me.
I would love the gate house because I read the first book and loved it
What the Dog Saw looks interesting. I’m North American.
I’ve read The Myrtles Plantation and enjoyed it, but I only wrote a brief blurb — didn’t do a full review, so I suppose it would be silly to link to it.

The scariest book I’ve ever read was The Amityville Horror. Gremlins? I don’t remember why. It was just terrifying. And, as it turns out, a hoax.
